A clean example of Benrus\'s Series 3021 case, produced in the late 1950s/early 1960s — the same one-piece stainless steel case later reused for Benrus\'s Vietnam-era military and \"Bullitt\" wrist-alarm watches. This is the standard civilian time-only dial: black face, applied stick markers, raised \"12\" numeral, and \"Benrus / Shock-Absorber\" signed below center.
Case: Solid stainless steel, approximately 34mm diameter, front-loading — the movement is accessed through the crystal rather than a removable caseback, consistent with this reference. Caseback is clearly marked \"Waterproof – Shock Absorbing – Dustproof – Series #3021 – Stainless Steel.\"
Movement: Swiss manual-wind (hand-wound). Because this case opens through the crystal rather than the back, the caliber has not been inspected or confirmed — buyers who need the exact movement reference should factor that in. Currently running.
Dial/hands: Original black dial with visible age-appropriate wear consistent with a watch of this era — see photos for close detail, including light marks and wear typical of decades of use. Hands appear original.
Crystal: Mostly good with some superficial scuffs. See photos.
Bracelet: Stainless steel Speidel stretch/expansion band, signed. Not the original strap for this reference (these typically shipped on leather), included as-is.
Condition notes: Sold as running but untested for accuracy/timekeeping over an extended period, and not recently serviced. Recommend a service before regular wear. Please review all photos closely — sold as-is.
